Adventure Bike Rider Forum

I am planning to buy knee protectors to wear under my Draggin' jeans (which don't have a pocket for pads), and am thinking of either the Forcefield Limb Tube or the Forcefield Zeus knee protector. Most of my riding is on the road, so sitting down, but I might take the occasional foray off road and hence need to alternate between sitting and standing.

I would welcome anyone's comments on these two choices (or recommendations for other options).

Cheers

HI Paul, I have worn both ( I sell them in my shop) for me the Limb tubes are a better fit for me. I wear them on the road and offroad. You have to make sure you get the velcro just right or it will irritate and drive you mad.
Had mine for a year now and wont be without them.
I have had several offs and the beauty is that if your trousers move then the Armour wont!!!

I use the Forcefield tube type knee protectors. I've really liked them.
However, I recently found they kept slipping down no matter how tight I strapped them. But Forcefield have just very kindly replaced them for a smaller size.
So it may be worth checking which size you actually need with them before you buy

I have the Zeus version , fits good , comfy all day long , lower level of protection compared to more bulky motocross knee protectors .( the hard plastic types ).

I have the Forcefield limb tubes, ride with them on road and off road. Very comfy, easy to kneel down in when pitching the tent, never had any issues with them moving (thumbs)

I've used the forcefield knee protectors for overlanding, enduro's and also just used them for the Tuared desert rally.
I've found them to be superb.
